About This File
This upload is a combination of Caribiou's original Long Slope Transitions, that were released originally on his website almost two decades ago and the former Heretic-Caribou GLR Ramp Transition Relot set, that was released both on the former SC4Devotion LEX and on the STEX. Since the demise of Caribou's original site, his contents were restored on STEX as part of early community wide restoration efforts and later they were brought under the STEX Custodian umbrella.
These original Caribou Long Slope Transitions (released in 2007) were re-hosted as they were originally released (restored in 2018 on STEX), but it's time to give them some well needed technical update. Since the former Heretic-Caribou GLR Ramp Transition relots (released in 2018) also required some technical update and they needed to be brought up to current NAM/MTA standards, for better accessibility the decision was made, that the two uploads would be compiled into ONE upload. Please see the ChangeLog below for further details on this update. Also for the detailed stats, please read the readme in the ~Documents folder.
This compilation contains the following:
- Caribiou's three original models and lot files
- the five lots, the props and the custom paths for El-Rail that were coming with the Heretic-Caribou GLR Ramp Transition Relot set
- an additional brand new lot to complement the set
- revised and extended custom network paths for both El-Rail and Rail to cover the ramps.
Installation
Exctract or COPY the Tyberius06 parent folder from the *.zip into your plugin folder. You don't need to keep the "~Documents" folder in your Plugins, best if you remove it somewhere safe outside of your plugins.
To uninstall: bulldoze any instance of this lot in your city, then remove the file(s) from your Plugins.
To avoid conflicts, please, it is highly recommended to use any of the third party cleanitol tools and remove any previous versions of the files from your plugins.
In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP in the Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and Cleanitol/ folder you will find the Cleanitol_Caribou-Tyb06 Long Slope Transitions.txt and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove the old and outdated versions of these files. Again to avoid possible conflicts and glitches it is highly recommended to run either of these tools.
Dependencies
- Caribou_LongSlopeTransition_Props.dat - INCLUDED (it should be in the Tyberius06/Props folder)
-
Tyb06-Caribou_LST_Custom_Rail_and_ElRail_Paths__RHD.dat - INCLUDED (it should be in the Tyberius06/_Resources folder)**
** you will find the zTyb06-Caribou_LST_Custom_Rail_and_ElRail_Paths__LHD.dat in the ~Documents/Optional LHD Paths folder - you only need this IF your game install/set-up is LHD (UK, Australia, Japan). If you want to use the LHD paths, copy/move this file into the Tyberius06/_Resources folder and better if you also remove the __RHD paths from the same folder.
- Submenu DLL - OPTIONAL
- Network Addon Mod - necessary for the GLR, U-Rail and U-GLR (Underground Tram) compatibility
Credits
The models and the original Lots were created by Caribou, all credit goes for him for that!
The additional lots, the updated modding, the custom network paths, props and expanded functionality of all the lots have been made by Tyberius06.
Special gratitude goes for the following people:
Simmer2 (SM2) - providing the uploads during their restoration on STEX
Pikachu_SQ and others - continuous efforts for preserving these contents for the community.
This version is identical with the upload on the SC4Evermore: Tyb06-Caribou Long Slope Transitions
QuoteOriginal description:
It has come to my attention that Caribou's website went down back in 2016 and after scouring the internet there is no trace of any of his work.
Since I have his work stored in a secure offline vault, I feel that in the spirit of preservation, his work should be available to the public once again.
These lots and models were made by Caribou and are provided AS IS, nothing in the Zips has been changed by me.
Since he never provided any pictures I took it upon myself to plop all the lots in game for the purpose of taking snapshots in order for everyone to peruse them before downloading.
Anyone in the future who would like to create new lots from these models can now use these uploads as a dependency.
There are 3 lots in this zip
1) caribou long slope
1) caribou long slope 2
1) caribou long slope 3
Many Thanks go to Tyberius06 for bringing this matter to my attention.
Kind regards
Simmer2
What's New 3.0 View Changelog
Released
Please note, the following changes were made for this upload:
- introduction of the Caribou_LongSlopeTransition_Props.dat file, which is replacing the three separate ramp models and also containing the prop files from the former Heretic-Caribou Special GLR Rail Transitions resources.dat file.
- all the lots from both sets have been updated to current NAM/MTA standards
- the modding of the three original ramp have been updated; custom network paths were added and with that extended functionality were provided. While the L2-L0 ElRail-to-Heavy Rail ramp has got new custom network paths, however this functionality is restricted due to the nature of this type of ramp. This is considered a "cheater transition" lot, which allows El-Rail to transfer passengers to regular passenger trains, which was not an intended behaviour by the game's developers.
- The L0-SUBway and L2-SUBway lots got network paths and they are transitioning between passenger rail and subway and as part of the extended functionality they can be connected to the U-Rail puzzle pieces. If they were connected to the U-Rail puzzle pieces, both passenger and freight train can pass through on the lot and this way these lots are fully UDI enabled.
